Asthma & Allergy Specialists | Serving Charlotte since 1987.

Allergies

From environmental and seasonal allergies (pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold, and Carolina ragweed) to food allergies (peanut, tree nut, milk, egg, shellfish, wheat, soy, sesame, and others), our allergists test for what's actually triggering your symptoms. We also treat stinging insect reactions, drug allergies, eczema, and contact dermatitis, and we offer in-office allergy shots. Care is built for kids, teens, and adults.

Asthma Care

Shortness of breath, chest tightness, coughing, or wheezing that flares with exercise, weather, or seasonal triggers are signs your asthma needs a better plan. We use spirometry, fractional exhaled nitric oxide testing, and a careful exam to confirm the diagnosis, then build personalized treatment for adults and children, including pediatric asthma plans for school and daycare. For patients with severe asthma, biologics are available in-office when standard inhalers aren't enough.

Respiratory Allergies

Sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, and post-nasal drip from pollen, dust mites, mold, or pet dander all fall under respiratory allergies. We confirm your specific triggers with skin prick or intradermal testing in-office, then build a long-term plan with targeted medication, allergy shots you can take at home.

Asthma

Asthma is more than wheezing. It can show up as chest tightness, exercise limits, nighttime cough, or shortness of breath that disrupts daily life. Our specialists use spirometry, fractional exhaled nitric oxide testing, and a careful exam to confirm the diagnosis, then build a personalized plan that covers daily control, rescue care, and biologics for severe asthma when standard inhalers are not enough.

Lung Disorder

Our specialists evaluate and manage lung conditions beyond asthma, including restrictive lung disease, chronic cough, recurrent bronchitis, and breathing patterns that don't fit a simple diagnosis. In-office pulmonary function testing helps us understand exactly how your lungs are working before we recommend a treatment plan.

Other Allergies

Food allergies (peanut, tree nut, milk, egg, shellfish, wheat, soy, sesame, and others), stinging insect reactions, drug allergies, eczema, and contact dermatitis all sit in our wheelhouse. We confirm the diagnosis with appropriate testing and build a personalized treatment plan.

Charlotte Pollen Count

Wondering what’s blooming and why your symptoms are flaring? Our certified pollen station tracks the daily count of pollen grains per cubic meter of air across the Charlotte area. Higher numbers mean more pollen, and more discomfort for anyone allergic to whatever is in the air that day.

Bookmark this page or check it as part of your morning routine, especially during spring and fall pollen peaks. The pollen count is one of the most reliable signals of why your symptoms are flaring on any given day, and what to expect tomorrow.
